Tehran, July 23, (ICANA) - Deputy Head of Iran's Majlis Committee of National Security and Foreign Policy Ahmad Reza Dastgheib has hailed the power of the Syrian army in countering terrorists in Syria, saying any potential Israeli attack against the Arab country would be ‘sheer folly.’

“This is sheer stupidity that the Zionist regime (Israel) seeks to attack Syria,” Dastgheib said on Sunday.

Any military attack against Syria will be met with a crushing response from the country, he warned.

Dastgheib pointed to the 33-day Israeli war on Lebanon and Tel Aviv's 22-day war against Gaza, which both resulted in the Zionist regime's defeat, and said that if a war breaks out in the region, it would cause another fiasco for the Israeli regime and would lead to its annihilation.
